    the poached shrimp salad is phenom! There is a half size and full size. Half is great if you are also getting a meal. The Veal Parm is like no other - HUGE piece of veal with the bone - tastes amazing. The drink with rosemary (I think the Verone?) was amazing! Def get the meatballs for appetizer - they are amazing and so is the sauce. Just a wonderful atmosphere with great food and service! The desserts are also amazing - the lemonicello cheesecake; the creme brulee was fantastic and the gelato refreshing.

    We had a problem with one meal that was woefully undercooked which ruined the entire meal for our party.

    Food was fantastic. Have eaten here several times and never have been disappointed. Pastas are delicious. Can’t find a negative thing to say.

    Overall, Il Venetian is one of my favorite restaurants. I'm in love with the ambiance. From the door, the floor and decor it was gorgeous. The service was superb. Parker was kind and moderately attentive. My guest did have to send her food back. She wasn6pleaswd with the eggplant dish. Other than that, they were extremely accommodating.

    Service was excellent, little slower than chain restaurants, but because of the quality of food, this is to be expected, perfectly acceptable. Nick was top notch, very personable and genuine.

    Everything about this place is top-notch. Service, food quality, ambiance, and overall experience. The carrot cake I had for dessert was the best carrot cake I’ve had in my life.
